DOWNS

5. The Dream Has No Memory Of That, Your Honour

They're really just going to stick by Velveteen Dream, aren't they?

From reports emerging over the last week or so, WWE's claims that they "looked into" the accusations and they found "nothing there", allegedly stem a series of legal loopholes that mean, if the accusations did turn out to be true, he wouldn't have technically broken any laws. Which is very handy for them, given the astonishing volume of evidence.

However, being able to get away with allegedly sending explicit photos of yourself to a minor purely because you're a few months under the 24-year-old threshold for that, doesn't mean that you should be on television. It means that you're not going to prison and, honestly, is that the bar? If WWE think that you've got the potential to be a star and that they can make a lot of money out of you, is the standard set no higher than 'Not Going To Jail'.

Depressingly, Adrian Adonis looked great in this match and a feud with Kushida will provide us with some stellar pro-wrestling, but is that really the talking point here?
